Stand Alone Air GPS
Receiver (SAGR), AN/ASN-169

The
SAGR is a six channel PPS-rated receiver intended for use
in selected Army rotary wing aircraft. The SAGR is
produced by upgrading government-owned AN/PSN-10 Small
Lightweight GPS Receivers (SLGR) originally procured
during Operation Desert Storm. The SAGR replaces SLGR
currently installed to various Army aircraft. The SAGR
will not replace SLGR in any ground mobile application
which are displaced by the AN/PSN-11 PLGR.

Installation of the SAGR utilizes existing
SLGR aircraft installation brackets and a new L1/L2
antenna.

The SAGR carries a sealed-unit four
year warranty with all repair to be accomplished by the
manufacturer. Contractor support is anticipated for life
cycle support beyond the warranty period.

Mission Planning software will be
distributed to support SAGR operations, allowing multiple
waypoint data to be entered using common computer
systems.

SAGR will be distributed in
accordance with a HQDA approved plan to equip selected
modernized and non-modernized aircraft. First priority
goes to forward deployed Army aircraft that are not
currently equipped with integrated GPS systems.
Eventually, the installation of integrated GPS systems
will result in the migration of all SAGR to the remaining
non-modernized aircraft. First SAGR deliveries began in
late 1QFY96. SAGR contract is limited to 1000 systems.
